Abstract

Recent experimental progress in quantum information processing with trapped ions havedemonstrated most of the fundamental elements required to realize a scalable quantumcomputer. The next set of challenges lie in realization of a large number of qubits andthe means to prepare, manipulate and measure them, leading to error-protected qubitsand fault tolerant architectures. The integration of qubits necessarily require integratedoptical approach as most of these operations involve interaction with photons. In thispaper, we discuss integrated optics technologies and concrete optical designs needed forthe physical realization of scalable quantum computer.
